Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has insisted that his side did not deserve to lose against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Canaries slumped to a second successive defeat in the league as they went down 1-0 at Carrow Road.

"On occasions when we haven't deserved to get anything we have been quick to put our hands up," Hughton told BBC Sport. "I don't think that was the case against Aston Villa.

"On the balance of play we created good chances and we added an offensive endeavour to our play. The result does not reflect our performance.

"What we didn't have at the end of it was a bit of quality, fortune and guile to get us the goal we deserved."

Norwich return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Watford in the third round of the Capital One Cup.
